The invention discloses a calculation method and
system for the optimal placement orientation of an acetabular cup in a total hip joint operation, and belongs to the field of surgical instruments. The calculation method comprises the steps that CT data of a patient is obtained, a three-dimensional model is constructed, point locations in the three-dimensional model are recognized, a three-dimensional coordinate
system is established according to a
pelvis mark point and a
femoral head rotation center point, and the optimal placement orientation of the acetabular cup is calculated; and determining the initial position of femoral motion according to the
femoral head rotation center point and the femoral mark point. And drawing a space
femoral neck movement range according to the femoral form and a preset hip joint movement range. The
centroid of the curved surface is calculated based on the space
femoral neck movement range, the rotation center point of the
femoral head serves as the starting point and extends towards the
centroid to form a
ray, and the orientation of the
ray in three-dimensional coordinates serves as the optimal placement orientation of the acetabular cup. According to the method, the individualized thighbone shape and the joint movement range of a patient are considered, the optimal
acetabulum orientation is given according to different prostheses, and a definite operation target and guidance are given to an operator, so that the
dislocation risk after hip replacement is reduced, and the acetabular cup placement reliability is greatly improved.
